One Line Review: This one wasn't as wonderful as the original Boneshaker, but it was still fun.
Priest links the two novels together at the end, which was fun to see some of the original characters.
Mercy Lynch is a nurse in the South during the Civil War and receives a telegram telling her to come and see her long-lost father before he passes. So she takes passage on a dirigible and soon a train bound for the West...along the way she meets quite the characters and zombies! Will she survive and make it to see her father? Well, I'm sure you can guess that but it's about the journey!
Mercy was a fun heroine. She is tough and smart and quick on her feet and yet still has her weaknesses and vulnerabilities.
Priest always paints a wonderful alternative history here in the States. The Civil War is going on forever and Texas is its own country.
Overall a great addition to the series!
Rating: 4/5
